Hi Everyone. The Metro Bennett 76 is done.     I really like this pump. I am extremely fond of the art deco style pumps and I think it looks killer next to my Wayne 60. The original paint (green)was pretty good so I cleaned it up and kept it. I did repaint the trim and window boxes to bring out the art deco lines better. I would like to thank Frankie T-BONE for the pump to start with, Troy Swigart for the Nozzlerest, Ron Scobie for the computer faces, Big Rex Benson for the Metro pump plates, Larry Ivy for some of the window box trim, The Big Cheese for the Metro Globe and of course Local Frank S and Steve Snow for helping me get it to my house from oregon gas. Thanks everyone. --------------------------------------------- Hubba, gas geek of shoreline WA

Great job on the pump my friend! Kudos for remembering to thank the ones that made it possible. Sometimes we forget to do that.

SAWEEEEETTTT!! Good job Hubba, the original paint looks really cool. Was the green in that condition or did you have something to do to it?

Local Frank - yes we should - your Buddy and I miss ya. thanks for the Post card.
Morgan... The original green had some chips to it but basically it was dirty and dull. Alls I did was clean compound and wax it. The paint came right uo with good gloss. I left the paint chips as is... seeing they werent too bad. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Great job on that metro pump Hubba! I like the fact that you saved some of the original paint. You are very talented! Post more pictures. Nice looking Wayne 60 next to it.
